What did Churchill intend to signal to the British people?
Victory? Or Up Yours?

Intentionality...
If I was a barmqn it would be two beers.
It’s genuinely astonishing that the two of you can’t bring yourselves to acknowledge what’s plainly visible. The physical action Musk performed was, in movement and energy, indistinguishable from a Nazi salute.
End of story.
But you can't even bring yourselves to admit that...
We’ve already agreed it’s unlikely he intended it as such, yet even this basic concession, a mere observation of what you can see with your own eyes, is beyond your capacity.
Instead, you default to excuses, false equivalencies, and dismissals, even as Musk’s follow-up was to lean into Nazi humour. It’s emblematic of a broader phenomenon: a willful denial of reality in service of a narrative that must never challenge the sanctity of your chosen figurehead.
This discussion is pointless. It’s not just intellectual dishonesty on display here, it’s a kind of ideological servitude, where you reject the evidence before you and substitute it with convenient fictions to preserve your rhetorical alignment with the whims of your dear leader.
It’s more than sad, it’s pitiable.
